In this episode, we speak with Julia Evans. Julia runs a programming zines business, called Wizard Zines (https://wizardzines.com/), where she creates comics about various programming concepts. She has been creating zines, when she was still a software engineer at Stripe. Her zines are extremely approachable and highly educational. In addition to creating zines, Julia is a prolific blogger and has around 500 posts on her blog at jvns.ca. Her blogs are another great source to learn about fundamental programming concepts.  We had a lot of fun speaking with Julia for this episode. We discuss two bugs she came across at Stripe. We talk about how she identified and fixed a bug in Kubernetes Scheduler and how her understanding of TCP helped her fix a performance regression. We also cover other topics like blogging, zines, debugging and learning new things. Please enjoy this fun conversation with the amazing Julia Evans!

In this episode, Ronak, Austin and Guang share the origin story - who they are, what this podcast is about and why they are doing this.  They've seen first hand how stressful it is when something breaks in production but also found it to be the best opportunity to learn about a system more deeply. They started this podcast to have in-depth conversations with software and devops experts and hear their stories from the trenches about how software breaks in production. In upcoming conversations, they discuss the principles and practical tips to build resilient software as well as advice to grow as technical leaders. Learn more at https://softwaremisadventures.com.
